Miracle on the way to Belgium: Haredi businessman, resident of Antwerp in Belgium, who makes a living as a gold dealer, drove last Wednesday in his car like every week, with a case containing valuable gold.
During the car ride from Holland back to his house, he suspected that a car was following him, but did not consider it particularly important.
While driving on the highway, he entered the gas station, where he filled gas to his car.
After he started driving, about 300 meters after the gas station, a car with blue lights signaled him to stop. Three criminals emerged from the car with outdrawn guns.
He sped backwards back to the gas station, got out, picked up the case filled with gold in the back, and quickly went inside the gas station.
He shouted, "There's a robbery", and the owner immediately locked the doors and pressed the panic button. The shop was full of people, and soon the three arrived with weapons, they did not hide their faces.
They demanded to open the doors and demanded the bag of gold. But within a short time the police arrived, but the robbers managed to escape.
After extensive search, the vehicle in which they traveled was located but deserted. An investigation revealed that the vehicle was stolen.
Following the attempted robbery, the main road was blocked and there were traffic jams in the area for about 6 hours.
The orthodox man noted that when questioned by the police who asked him if he felt them firing at him he said no. They showed him that the bottom front of the car was hit with several bullets, and apparently shot with a silencer, so he did not. On Shabbos, he went up to the Torah in Shul, and said Hagomel.
It is important to remind all those involved in money and gold to take care to maintain secrecy and not walk around with expensive goods.
